From a relatively cool portion of that site, Alzinger’s 2006 Gruner Veltliner Smaragd Liebenberg exudes ripe melons, sweetly-scented flowers, saline minerality and Sichuan pepper pungency. Luscious and juicy, almost puppy-like in personality, this was impossible to resist – and one can understand its having been bottled already in April – yet no doubt 6-8 years of bottle age will do it no harm.The most exciting collection I have thus far tasted at this address – like a number of those in the Wachau – departs from the script that was written very early, touting 2006 as a “Gruner Veltliner vintage.”Importer: Terry Theise Estate Selections, imported by Michael Skurnik Wines, Inc., Syosset, NY; tel.
